Conclusions: This study only identified age as a predictor of responders. Logistic regression indicated that age was the only predictive factor contributing to treatment response. Gender, type of aphasia, naming, nonverbal cognitive measure, and communication confidence were not significantly different.
Results: There were significant differences between the groups on age and months postonset. Logistic regression determined if factors contributed to a treatment response. Independent-samples t tests and χ2 tests were performed to identify differences between groups on demographic (age and gender) and aphasia-related factors (months postonset, type of aphasia, aphasia severity, naming, nonverbal cognition measure, and self-rating of communication confidence). Methods: Participants were divided into 2 groups, responders and nonresponders, based on ±5-point change score on the Western Aphasia Battery-Revised Aphasia Quotient.
N2 - Purpose: This article summarizes current outcomes from intensive comprehensive aphasia programs (ICAPs) and examines data from one ICAP to identify those who respond and do not respond to treatment. T1 - Who benefits from an intensive comprehensive aphasia program?
